A piece of information gathered has it that the Students at Mayani Secondary School in Dedza have been sent home following the temporary closure of the institution due to an outbreak of bedbugs.
The school, like many other schools in the country, was supposed to close this term on 21 December.
This, according to one of the students at the institution, has happened despite spraying insecticides several times.
School authorities declined to comment, saying the division manager was better placed to comment.
